Answer:
D) 3.51x10²³ formula units
Explanation:
To know this, we need to calculate the molecular mass of CaO. To do that, let's use the atomic mass of each element of this compound.
Ca: 40.08 g/mol; O: 16 g/mol
With these given AM, let's calculate the molar mass of CaO:
Mm CaO = 40.08 + 16 = 56.08 g/mol
Now that we have the MM of CaO, it's time to determine the moles of CaO:
moles = mass / MM
moles = 32.7 / 56.08 = 0.5831 moles
Finally to get the formula units, we need to use the Avogadro's number which is 6.02x10²³. According to this number, 1 mole of any substance has this number of atoms, molecules or formula units. So, if we have 0.5831 moles, then the formula units will be:
FU = 0.5831 * 6.02x10²³
Hope this helps
